The 2025 Sophomore WR Breakout List

🧬 Drafting 2nd-Year WRs Is the Ultimate Fantasy Cheat Code

History repeats itself—and when it comes to fantasy football, second-year wide receivers are gold mines.

These 6 sophomore WRs are screaming breakout potential heading into 2025. Here's who to stash and why:

🔥 1. Rome Odunze – CHI

Sophomore Season Breakout Incoming?
Rome Odunze already carved out a major role in Chicago’s offense:

• 495 routes run (14th among all WRs)

• 94 air yards per game

• Over 84% of offensive snaps

Now things are heating up…

2025 Outlook:
New head coach Ben Johnson (ex-DET OC) brings fireworks. Last year:

• Amon-Ra St. Brown: WR3 (Weeks 11–17)

• Jameson Williams: WR12

With Caleb Williams under center and DJ Moore drawing attention, Odunze is poised to explode.

✅ Verdict: ALL IN on Bears WRs.

🔥 2. Keon Coleman – BUF

Flashed in Limited Work
When healthy and starting:

• Week 7: 14.5 pts (WR13)

• Week 8: 15.5 pts (WR13)

• Injured Week 9 and missed a month

Depth Chart Update:

• Amari Cooper: Gone

• Shakir: Reliable WR2, but limited

• No major WR added in draft

Coleman is now Buffalo’s most well-rounded WR.

✅ Verdict: Huge volume upside. Draft with confidence.

🔥 3. Marvin Harrison Jr. – ARI

Rookie Year Letdown? Not Exactly.
The usage was elite:

• 523 routes (13th)

• 116 targets (19th)

• 23% target share

But only 71% of his targets were catchable—3rd worst among WRs with 80+ targets.

Kyler + Marvin = Breakout Loading…
Kyler has supported fantasy WR1s before (Marquise Brown) and TE studs (Trey McBride). This year, timing gets synced.

✅ Verdict: Still a future WR1. Be patient.

🔥 4. Ricky Pearsall – SF

Late-Season Surge Was Real:

• Week 17: 24.7 pts (WR8)

• Week 18: 15.9 pts (WR14)

Now enters a 49ers offense in transition:

• Deebo Samuel traded

• Brandon Aiyuk unhappy

• Kittle aging

• Jauan Jennings = not a WR1

SF spent 1st-round capital on Pearsall for a reason.

✅ Verdict: Legit sleeper. Shanahan may give him a Deebo-lite role.

🔥 5. Jalen McMillan – TB

The Breakout Already Happened.
People are nervous about Emeka Egbuka. Don’t be.

From Weeks 14–18:

• 19.8 fantasy points/game

• WR8 overall

McMillan is a fundamental piece of this offense. Egbuka may contribute, but McMillan has the edge in role and chemistry.

✅ Verdict: Still criminally undervalued.

🔥 6. Xavier Worthy – KC

Dominated Late in the Season:

• Weeks 15–17: 21.0 PPG (WR10)

• 10+ targets per game

Playoff weapon for Mahomes:

• 85% snap share

• 1.0 TD per game

Now locked in as a starting WR in KC.

✅ Verdict: High-upside WR you can draft late and stash.

💎 Bonus Tier: Elite Sophomore WRs You Already Know

You don’t need convincing, but just to be clear—these guys are absolute monsters:

• Brian Thomas Jr.

• Ladd McConkey

• Malik Nabers

Each is:

• A proven playmaker

• A focal point of their offense

• Still getting better

✅ Verdict: Some of the safest and most explosive early-round fantasy picks. Monster seasons incoming.
